This will help consolidate your understanding of this material.
1. Let X = { n ∈ Z | n2 ≤ 5 }.
(i) Rewrite X as a list of numbers.
(ii) Decide which of the following statements are true and which are false:
(a) X ⊆Z (b) X ⊇Z (c) 5∈X (d) −2 6∈ X .
7. In each case decide whether or not the statement is true. Explain your answer.
(i) The square of an imaginary number is always real.
(ii) It does not make sense to write |z| > |w| when z and w are complex numbers because
the complex numbers are not ordered.
(iii) Real numbers cannot be graphed on the complex plane.
(iv) When a real number is divided by a complex number the answer can never be real.
8. Use a Venn diagram with three sets A, B and C to show the following:
(i) A∪B∪C (ii) (A ∪ B) ∩ C.
